Dear Pharmacist
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The consolidation of two county operational buildings into one location in Manchester continues. The county approved another $6 million for the development and construction of a transportation garage on Ridgeway Boulevard, which will house county buses and their maintenance and repairs. That garage, the Western County Facilities, will share services with the county road department and some IT offsite backup, which is already on that site. The garage should be operational
by spring 2019, County Business Administrator Carl Block said. The new location consolidates two locations - one in Jackson, and another in North Dover - one of which will be decommissioned (Jackson), and the other which will go out to bid in several weeks and be used for other county operations, such as the fire marshal, Block said. The county outgrew its road department garage in Jackson, which could not be expanded. The transportation department also outgrew its garage in Toms River on Route 9. The total cost of the project will be about $12 million, Block said.

able to bounce back. The class would be adapted from similar strategies taught to police officers. He also spoke highly of #NotEvenOnce, a program that is already making great strides. Created by Manchester police, and used by Berkeley, this is a three-day program where police bring realistic information about drug abuse into the classroom, and a recovered addict also tells their story. He’d like to see that expanded throughout the county. Both programs would be worked into health education, he said, so they wouldn’t impact regular class time.

This is not to say that enforcement is not part of the plan. Those who deal will be prosecuted more harshly. Those who are in possession of heroin will have a treatment plan as part of their conviction. In the whirlwind of meetings he’s had over the first 60 days of his appointment, he’s talked to a lot of experts about a lot of different programs. But there’s one piece still missing: He told the mayors and government officials that a long-term patient treatment facility is still lacking in Ocean County. He called for collaboration with all levels of government and education to stop the spread of addiction. He said he’s honored to have been appointed to the job, but he’s keenly aware that it is a five-year term. Currently, a bill that would legalize recreational marijuana is being debated and mayors wanted to know his stance on the issue. “I’m not a politician but I am a father,” he said. “I took an oath to support the law and enforce the law and that’s what I’ll do.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Good Samaritans Exist – Right Here In Lakehurst The other day I had a fall outside the Lakehurst post office. Going to my car, I inadver tently t ripped on a small stone wh ile stepping off the curb. Falling is a scary thing for anyone but especially for an 84-yearold woman who always needs help to get up. For a moment, as I lay sprawled on the street, I just prayed I would not be run over by an inattentive driver! Then I realized that there were several people su r rou nd i ng me and asking me if I had “any pain,” “could I move,” “d id I ne e d any help to stand?” I even heard someone say they had already called 911! I was star tled. Pleased, but surprised! W here had all these p e o ple c o m e f r o m? One man apologized after a minute or two because he had to go t o a n a p p oi nt m e nt , but spoke with others a rou nd me t o m a ke sure that I would not be left alone. A clerk from the post off ice a l so r e m a i ne d w it h t he g r ou p. A not he r
gentleman went to his car to get a roll of paper towels so that I would not have my head on the cold ground. Everyone wanted to help me stand. I could not allow anyone to help me up because I have a shoulder replacement and I need to have a special tech n ique to stand with assistance. About four minutes after my fall a police off icer, Jason Guide, arrived. I explained the problem with getting erect. He maneuvered people to various positions, then bent down beh i nd me, and i n a twinkling of an eye, the kind “strangers” and the officer had me back up on my feet. I kept apologizing for all the trouble, but everyone told me they were glad to help. I just want to thank all those persons who ma de a n emba r r a ssing event a very happy and appreciative moment for me to be truly thankful. With sincere thanks and appreciation… Dolores Corte Lomega Manchester

Article On Use Of Force Doesn’t Tell Whole Story A story from NJ Advance Media (nj.com) on law enforcement use of force will look to develop controversy and discontent by providing data with little context about the use of force officers are required to use. Police officers face an unparalleled challenge of saving lives, restoring peace, and bringing criminals to justice. The situations they face are dynamic and involve split second decisions. They are not done within the safety and security of a newsroom. The actions they take can mean life or death. In 2016 alone over 1,800 New Jersey Police Offi cers were a s s au lt e d wh i le doi ng the job of protecting the communities they serve. The number of assaults on offi cers increased 8 percent and contempt for law enforcement is a growing trend nationwide. Often thanks to irresponsible and half-written articles like the one released. Yes, law enforcement is permitted to use force, and newspapers buy ink in barrels. No revelations there. Unfortunately print media has all but disappeared and has been replaced with online news. When you can’t count newspapers anymore to tout your commercial success you have to generate “clicks” to sell advertising at top dollar. Regretfully, that has led to the demise of legitimate journalism in this country. I knew where this “investigative report” was going the moment I saw the teaser headings and salacious preview video. It worked a few months ago for another NJ news organization so why not give it a crack here at nj.com. They have provided you with a clickable database for watercooler banter, nothing more. Like TMZ, Inside Edition and the like they are giving
Letters To The Editor you a suggestive bit of likely the officer that con- Obama’s presidential tensensational data to keep an unsuspecting public engaged. Regretfully and unfortunately they have only told half the story. True journalists at least attempt to tell an entire story. WHY was force used? Was it justified? Did the officer prevent a violent rape or violent assault? Did they tackle a fleeing robbery suspect? Was the suspect resisting arrest? You will never know. You see, NJ.com only used the single page Use of Force repor ts. The Investigation report, supplemental reports and witness statements would tell the whole stor y but nj.com didn’t work on get t i ng t hem. That would require significantly more work and journalistic ability instead of having interns entering data into a spreadsheet for the last several months. Time is money when you need to generate clicks to sell advertising. Regrettably, “clicks” are today’s benchmark for journalistic success. Unreasonable or criminal uses of force are discovered more quickly today than ever before thanks to body cams, dash cams and the omnipresent cell phone. I say “thanks to” because I don’t want those officers in our ranks as much as the public doesn’t. They don’t belong in our profession. But use of force isn’t pretty and what may look like unreasonable force to the untrained eye is an acceptable use of force under the law. That decision will be determined by a prosecutor, judge and jury, not the amount of clicks it received online or irresponsible comments under a suggestive and misleading headline to make you click. Articles like this only makes a difficult job today incredibly more difficult. The officer that is “number one” today in your community on the database is
sistently leads the agency in arrests. Good arrests. He is the officer that is proactively patrolling and attempting to put a dent in crime in your community. And congratulations nj.com, now that officer will be doing everything he can to stay off your “half story” spreadsheet next year and the year after that. Improvements to our profession will continue with the support and assistance of the communities and citizens we serve, not with click bait entertainment.

Trump Is Mean To Everyone And Deserves Scorn In response to letter entitled “No Reason To Be Mean About Tr ump” in The Brick Times of December 1st, I feel morally obliged to offer a contrary view. I do not challenge the sincerity of the writer. I simply cannot grasp her reasoning, par ticularly because her hero acts like the playground bully always picking fights. But, if somebody hits him back, he runs off to the school principal to complain. This political era - or is it error? - might be described as four blind men trying to identif y an elephant with each man touching a different part of the ani mal. O ne t ouche s t he trunk and concludes it’s a snake hanging in a tree. Another touches a foreleg and “sees” a tree. The third reaches high and grasps an ear, deciding it’s a flamingo. Who knows what the fourth man thought when he touched the tail? But let’s keep prurience out of this conversation! For the eight years of
u re, I w rote ma ny letters to various newspaper editors, some seeing the light of day by get ting published. I suppor ted Obama, not only as our president, but also as a noble man committed to making this nation into a more perfect union. [Kindly refer to the Preamble of the Constitution.] My letters often appealed to the general public to give him a chance; to support his initiatives for the good of the economy and for the betterment of the people; even to pray for him. Donald Trump actually rode on the back of Birtherism and bigotry to win the hearts and minds of many millions of Christian citizens. Throughout his campaign and through his two years as president, a day does not pass without some outrageous incitement to hatred, exclusion and/or violence against strangers and dissenters of his worldview. The relentless attacks against our First Amendment f lood Tweetland. The same has been t r ue whenever he speaks in person. His worldview is one of unadulterated greed, a greed without conscience, lack i ng i n self-ref lection, insatiable and with not a morsel of morality. Donald Trump is the pure narcissist and his brand of greed is endangering all of us. Yes, in those past letters of mine, I too urged my fellow citizens to pray for Obama. Did the writer of “No Reason To Be Mean About Trump?” Or did she, as so many Americans, decide that blind belligerence and autocratic rule are what America needed? Sadly, that is what we got! She says: May God bless America. I say: May God bless all of humanity! Isn’t God supposed to be Father (and Mother) of all human beings? Nicholas Molinari Brick

Tips To Prevent Your Pipes From Freezing
NEW JERSEY – With the winter season in full swing, its always a good idea to check on your household water pipes to prevent freezing. Aqua New Jersey is reminding residents to take these steps: • Have a supply of heat tape, pipe insulation, a portable space heater and a hair dryer on hand • Locate and visibly mark the home’s master water valve. In the event that a pipe does break, use this value to turn off water to the home. • Make sure the lids on outdoor meter pits are not broken or missing. • Shut off and drain any outside faucets including those for lawn sprinkling systems. Prevent drafts in unheated areas, such as crawl spaces or basements, by replacing broken glass or making other repairs. When temperatures drop below freezing, take the following precautions in those unheated areas: • Wrap pipes with insulation material or heat tape. Wrap indoor water meters with a blanket. Proper and safe use of portable space heaters can also keep exposed pipes in drafty areas from freezing. • For interior plumbing located on an outside wall such as a kitchen sink, install heat tape to the pipes beneath
the sink. If no small children are in the house, open cabinet doors beneath the sink to allow the warm air in the home to reach the pipes. • When temperatures remain near 10°F, customers may want to leave a very thin stream of water running continuously from at least one tap in their home— preferably the one farthest from the meter. The additional cost of the water is cheaper than the cost of repairing ruptured pipes. • If a customer can locate the frozen area of a pipe, open a spigot and use a hand-held hair dryer (blow dryer) or heat tape to thaw the area. If this does not resolve the issue, contact a licensed plumber. “Each winter, we receive many calls from customers who are dealing with pipes that have frozen or ruptured due to extreme winter temperatures,” stated Aqua New Jersey President John Hildabrant. “Frozen pipes become a concern anytime the high temperature drops below freezing for a sustained period. We want to make sure our customers know how to keep their home’s water f lowing during an Arctic blast, and also what to do if their pipes do freeze this winter.” For more information, visit AquaAmerica.com.

Police Angered By Radio Host Criticizing “Move Over Law”
By Jennifer Peacock A radio host has come under fire for criticizing a proposed change to a law that now not only fines motorists, but would put points on their licenses. NJ101.5 midday host Judi Franco penned an opinion piece published Tuesday, “NJ’s Move-Over Law: Dead Cops Make Bad Laws.” In it, she criticized the state’s existing “move-over” law - a law the requires motorists to move over when law enforcement, emergency services or tow trucks are on the shoulder - as unnecessary. The proposed change to the law, which would not only keep the $100-$500 fine, would penalize violators with two points on their licenses. Those changes are being co-sponsored by State Sens. Vin Gopal and Jim Holzapfel and assembly members Eric Houghtaling, Joann Downey and Gregory McGuckin. The law was passed in 2009. More than a year later, State Trooper Marc Castellano was struck on Route 195 in Howell while walking on the shoulder, in search of an alleged armed occupant of an abandoned vehicle, connected to an ongoing investigation. He died at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune several hours later. His mother, Donna Setaro, has been an advocate and educator of the move-over law since. Franco incorrectly wrote that the law was passed in reaction to Castellano’s death. “As the daughter of a retired State Trooper, I am disgusted and insulted by Judi Franco’s complete lack of respect for the memory of Marc Castellano and apparent lack of care for the safety of New Jersey’s police officers,” Downey said in a Dec. 6 statement. “This man lost his life while serving and protecting the people of New Jersey. Do our officers not deserve the protection and sense of security the Move Over Law provides? How anyone can argue that this law is unnecessary - when its violation has already resulted in the loss of numerous innocent lives - is unfathomable. Ms. Franco is unconscionable and her argument is rooted in sheer ignorance. She should be ashamed.” It’s hard to quantify how many emergency workers’ lives have been saved because of the law, but despite it, four Manchester Township officers were hit while conducting a stop on Route 37 on Aug. 9 this year, and

a Brick Township officer hit while inside his car on Route 70 on Sept. 9. That driver was impaired. Both drivers failed to move over. A State Trooper was struck on the south end of the New Jersey Turnpike and a Palisades Interstate Parkway Officer struck later this year. The State Troopers Fraternal Association issued a three-page statement Dec. 5 in response to Franco’s opinion piece, calling it a “poorly written ‘opinion’ piece” simply meant to “stir the pot for ratings.” They demanded an apology from Franco’s employer, NJ101.5. “There are two sad realities however. First, despite [Satero’s] great efforts, first responders are still being struck by vehicles on our roadways, and second, and the driving force behind this piece, is that a law enforcement (member) such as myself should never have to answer our phones to hear the mother of a fallen trooper in tears because a viral radio personality such as Judi Franco has chosen to mock and downplay the importance of the Move Over Law by calling it, and I quote, “bad law” and “a silly law,”” STFA President Wayne Blanchard said. NJ101.5 issued the following statement. “Our talk hosts at New Jersey 101.5 are chosen because they offer strong opinions and viewpoints. We understand not everyone will agree with them - they frequently disagree with one another - and that’s why we encourage our listeners to reach out onair and online. Our goal isn’t to tell anyone what to think, but to give our hosts the space to start conversations. “We’ve always enjoyed a productive relationship with New Jersey law enforcement, including the New Jersey State Police’s participation in our past and upcoming Town Hall events on online safety, through the New Jersey State PBA’s participation in our Feel Better Bears project to distribute teddy bears to children going through difficult times, and through our participation alongside law enforcement in the annual Polar Plunge in Seaside Heights. Additionally, we celebrate law enforcement efforts through our weekly #BlueFriday feature on the Bill Spadea Show. “We appreciate the feedback from the State Troopers Fraternal Association, even the criticism, and as with any feedback, take it under advisement.”

I Woke Up And I Cannot Hear
Sudden hearing loss occurs so quickly - literally overnight or in an instant - that the change in hearing is dramatic and can be very upsetting. A sudden hearing loss can involve any part of the hearing system and something as straight forward as earwax can cause a sudden hearing loss. However, the term usually refers to a sudden “nerve” or sensorineural hearing loss. The loss is almost always in one ear and may be accompanied by dizziness, tinnitus (ear noises), and/or aural fullness/pressure. Suspected causes of sudden sensorineural hearing loss include viral infection, ototoxic medications, acoustic trauma and meningitis. In most cases, the specific cause is never found (idiopathic). In cases with no known cause, viral infections or vascular blockage is suspected. There may be a history of a recent flu or cold, but in most cases, there are no other complaints.

occurs in about 60-65 percent of the cases. Recovery can take anywhere from a few days to a few months. Those who seek immediate medical attention (within a week) have a higher recovery rate than those who wait. The recovery rate is also higher for those with milder hearing losses. Patients who present with a severe and/or profound hearing loss with accompanying symptoms such as dizziness and/ or tinnitus are less likely to recover their hearing. Someone who experiences sudden hearing loss should seek medical attention immediately so that medical treatment can be provided. The medical evaluation usually involves a thorough history, otologic and audiologic examination. Remember, a sudden loss of hearing is not normal. Therefore, do not hesitate to contact your primary care physician or ear, nose and throat physician for immediate medical treatment.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Breathe Easier And Control Pain With Frankincense
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Frankincense is popular around Christmastime and the resin and oil have been used for ages. Frankincense resin is extracted out of trees that belong to the genus Boswellia, and that is why you see “Boswellia” on the ingredient list of dietary supplements, essential oils and other commercial products. Like curcumin, the boswellia-derived formulas are extraordinarily popular today, especially to treat joint pain, cancer, asthma and infections. This sticky sap that’s extracted from the tree dries out and is found in supplements galore. It offers more benefits than first meets the eye. There are many species of boswellia by the way, the most common one in the states is Boswellia serrata. Clinical trials show that “boswellic acids” from boswellia have anti-inflammatory properties so powerful that they rival non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). A crucial difference is that the medications have the ability to produce uncomfortable side effects like gastric ulceration and heartburn, but boswellia does not. Here are 4 compelling reasons to consider adding frankincense to your health regimen in some way, shape or form. It’s kind of amazing: 1. It Reduces Pain: Because it acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, it is a powerful painkiller for many physical conditions. There are many scientific papers supporting the use of boswellia for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as knee pain, back pain and more. 2. It Eases Asthma Symptoms: Boswellia extract is excellent at reducing leukotrienes,
a class of compounds in your body that trigger annoying allergies and terrifying bronchospasm. It mitigates asthma symptoms by keeping your airways open and reducing your immune reaction to environmental allergens. 3. It Relieves Gastrointestinal Discomfort: For those with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s, numerous studies are clear and profound! Boswellia absolutely provides soothing relief and reduces flare-ups, pain and possibly even progression of GI conditions. Remember, it’s a very strong natural anti-inflammatory and it pacifies your immune system. 4. Restricts the Growth of Cancer Cells: The natural boswellic acids from frankincense make it practical for slowing down the growth of cancer cells that invade the brain, breast, pancreas and blood (as in leukemia). Furthermore, acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) found in boswellia, has been shown to slow down the progression of multiple myeloma. Now that you understand the health benefits of this versatile plant, how can you integrate it into your life? It’s pretty easy, you can do what I do. I have the essential oil (Boswellia frereana) and I just put it into my diffuser during the day or sometimes just inhale it from my hands. You can put it in your bath, and some high-quality essential oils can be taken internally (depending on the brand). You can also take boswellia as a dietary supplement at any health food stores. It’s found all by itself in stand-alone products, as well as in multi-tasking formulas that relieve joint pain. And finally, you can burn frankincense resin as incense, like wise men and women have done for ages during important ceremonies and celebrations.

Applications Available For Jersey Fresh Farm To School Farmer Recognition Award
TRENTON – New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher today announced registration has begun for farmers wishing to participate in the Jersey Fresh Farm to School Farmer Recognition Award. The program is an opportunity for farmers to highlight their Farm to School efforts
and provide them with resources to help feature their Jersey Fresh produce in local school meals. “The Farmer Recognition Award highlights farmers that are involved in the Jersey Fresh Farm to School program,” Secretary Fisher said. “When students and
staff from a school visit a farm, or meet with a farmer at school, it allows them to have a better understanding of how food is grown along with the importance of having healthy eating habits that can benefit them for a lifetime.” Farmers can register for the 2019 Jersey

Robert C. Shea Esq. Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Board Certified in Cardiology, Nuclear Cardiology, Echocardiography, Cardiovascular CT, Vascular Medicine & Vascular Interpretation (RPVI)
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/ they are injured.
The Standard Policy does provide medical Michael J. Deem expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates 732-505-1212 for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Bartley
tried to do is be leaders in our field,” Scalo says. For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley experience for residents and the staff that serve their healthcare needs. Bar tley Healthc are opened as a 120 -bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground. Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties. Bar tley Healthc are began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes. Today, Bartley Healthcare is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; enteral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respiratory; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care.

Healthcare
Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living. Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents. One of them may be Emilia Harrison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley resident for over five years. “I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor. Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose. “You do what you want to do,” she says. For thirty years, Bartley
Healthcare has provided that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Officer Philip Scalo and his physician partners. “My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facility and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.” With his financial and legal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team. Others think so, too. The Orchards at Bartley has rec eived nu merous awards for excellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services in partnership with the Healthcare Asso ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/ National Center for Assisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federation of America. “What we’ve always
also offer inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation; assisted living; memory care programs; respite/ hospice; and at-home services. “We started with a basic concept, understanding and meeting the individual needs of both resident and patient,”Scalo says. “Each step of our development has been based on the need for services. (For example,) in the late 1990s, we saw the need for memor y care programs.” Scalo says that he and his partners have plans to add respirator y ser vices and a sub-acute program for Alzheimer’s patients. Even after a resident leaves Bar tley Healthcare, the facility ensures their continued rehabilitation by providing a follow-up program. Residents that live at The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living will feel right at home right away. N e st l e d i n a qui et c ount r y set t ing, T he Orchards promotes a neighborhood environment. Located within the community, “Main Street” is a hub of activity that features a theater, exercise center, library with c omputer s, hair salon and barber shop, game room and other
gathering areas. Family recreational oppor tunities abound at t h e n e i ghb o r h o o d movie theater, greenhouse and playground

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Garden State Medical Center’s Dr. Usmani Is The Detective On The Case By Michael Vandenberg When a detective is trying to figure out, for instance, who stole the diamond ring, he’ll fi rst question the usual suspects. Most of the time that’s the end of the investigation, but sometimes it’s only the beginning. Maybe it’s actually the person he least expects. Or perhaps after examining the evidence, he realizes it was an act of nature instead. And then there are the times that in the course of his investigation he uncovers something else entirely and is able to prevent a far more malicious crime from occurring. If you listen to Dr. Qaisar Usmani talk about just a few of his fascinating anonymous diagnoses stories, you’ll quickly realize that rheumatology works much the same way. Rheumatology was an acquired taste for Dr. Usmani: back in his residency days, he mastered cardiology but found rheumatology to be a more difficult subject at first. But he relished the challenge. In 1999 he opened up his own practice right across the street from Kimball Medical Center in Lakewood. He enjoyed every second he was helping patients reach recovery. The problem with owning your own doctor’s office, however, is that there’s a mountain of paperwork that never seems to get any smaller. Dr. Usmani started to look for a way to give his patients 100 percent of his focus again. Having shared a lot of the same patients with Dr. Dharam Mann, founder of Garden State Medical Center, over the years, Dr. Usmani began to notice how well GSMC treats them. “I was satisfied with what he was doing for my patients. That’s how it star ted,” said Dr. Usmani. About a year ago, Dr. Mann was interested in expanding the practice, and Dr. Usmani decided to become the newest addition to the Garden State Medical Center family in April of 2018. Now, thanks to GSMC’s elec-
tronic filing systems and large network of supportive staff, Dr. Usmani is able to just do what he loves: treat patients and alleviate their pain. “You see the patient and you take care of them. That’s what I like,” he said. And the Dr. Usmani that isn’t distracted by physician bureaucracy is the rheumatologist able to help you with a large variety of ailments that you may be experiencing. He helps patients with many types of arthritis alone, including psoriatic, rheumatoid, inflammatory, and that of the hand, knee, back, and neck. In addition, he’s treated countless cases of lupus, vasculitis, sarcoidosis, and gout, just to name a few. Diagnosis of these conditions can be toughsomething like shortness of breath can be caused by a range of illnesses- but his experience makes it a lot easier. Once the criminal is found, so to speak, the delicate art of treatment can begin. Help is never one-size-fits-all when you’re treated by good physicians like Dr. Usmani, so he’ll be sure to take the proper steps to lead you toward recovery. “You have to be careful what medicines you give them,” he explained. While the target is to make sure you get better, he also wants to confirm that the medicine is safe by perfectly gauging the proper the person looked fatigued. tion sounded like it was trend- but they decided that doing amount you need, if you even They talked for a few minutes ing positive, but Dr. Usmani nothing was not an option. “We need it at all. “I’m very careful. and then, “out of nowhere, I decided to examine him just took the risk, and thankfully I don’t want to give pills unnec- asked him if he has arthritis.” to confirm. “And to my surprise, she had a beautiful healthy essarily.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Baking Memories: Classic Italian Cookie Is A Lovely Christmas Treat By Wolfgang Puck
Being the son and grandson of two excellent home and professional bakers, my mother and grandmother, I probably have a unique perspective on the Christmas season. As I’ve shared many times before, beginning in the first week of December those two wonderful cooks started their holiday baking, an expression of their philosophy that you could never have too many cookies to offer to visitors or to give as gifts for family and friends. Fortunately, they left me many of their own recipes, which I still love to bake; and I have many more that I’ve developed with the pastry chefs in my own restaurants. That means I have what may sometimes seem like an endless supply of favorite cookie recipes to share as we move into the festive season. So, I’d like to offer you a few great cookie recipes in these weeks leading up to Christmas. First up is a version of one of Italy’s most famous cookie varieties: biscotti. Biscotti was a fairly common treat in my childhood home thanks to the fact that our town of Sankt Veit an der Glan was less than an hour’s drive from the Italian border. As anybody who knows even a little bit of Italian might figure out, the name “biscotti” literally means “twice-cooked.” That refers to the fact that these traditional cookies are cooked in two stages. First, a log of dough is baked for just over half an hour, during which time it spreads out to a flattened oblong loaf shape. Then, once that loaf cools, it is thinly sliced, and the slices are baked until firm and crisp. At their most basic, biscotti doughs are simply flavored with vanilla or almond extract and studded with chopped or slivered almonds; others may include hints of anise seed or chopped candied orange peel. I tend to enjoy when bakers get more creative, adding other sweet flavors to the dough and incorporating not only different kinds of nuts, but also dried fruit, and chocolate. The following recipe, for example, blends cocoa powder into the dough’s dry ingredients for a mellow chocolaty flavor; then, bittersweet chocolate chips and walnuts are mixed in, giving these Italian biscotti a happy resemblance to the flavor of an all-American Tollhouse cookie. As you’ll notice, this recipe yields a generous quantity of biscotti. That’s because, with two separate stages of cooking, it makes sense to bake lots of them. Fortunately, the biscotti store well for several weeks in an airtight container between layers of parchment or wax paper. So, you’ll be sure to have them ready to serve to your own guests or offer as delightful personal presents.

COCOA BISCOTTI WITH WALNUTS AND BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS Makes 7 to 7 1/2 dozen 4 cups (1 L) all-purpose flour 1 cup (250 mL) unsweetened cocoa 1 tablespoon baking powder
8 ounces (250 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) granulated sugar 4 large eggs 2 teaspoons brandy 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups (500 mL) shelled walnut halves 1 cup (250 mL) good-quality bittersweet chocolate chips 1 large egg white, lightly beaten, for egg wash 3 tablespoons coarse sugar crystals In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder. Set aside. Put the butter and granulated sugar in the large bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment or beaters. Start beating at a low speed until slightly blended; then, raise the speed to high and continue beating until fluffy. Reduce the speed to medium, add 1 egg, and beat until just combined; then, in the same way, add each of the remaining 3 eggs. Beat in the brandy and vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour in the sifted ingredients, beating until just combined. Add the nuts and chocolate chips, and beat just until evenly incorporated. With lightly floured hands and working on a lightly floured smooth work surface, divide the dough in 3 equal portions and form each portion into a log about 15 inches (37.5 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap, place on a baking tray, and refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Before baking, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). When the logs are firm, unwrap 1 or 2 and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper; if placing 2 logs on the tray, position them about 4 inches (10 cm) apart to allow for spreading during baking. Brush each log with the beaten egg white, and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the sugar crystals. Bake the logs until they are slightly firm to the touch, about 35 minutes; do not be concerned about any cracks in the logs. Bake remaining logs in the same way. Transfer the tray with the baked logs to a wire rack, and leave the logs to cool completely without trying to move them. Carefully wrap the cooled logs in plastic wrap, set them on a baking tray, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 275 F (135 F). Fit 1 or 2 wire racks inside a rimmed baking tray to fill it completely. Meanwhile, move a log to a cutting board and unwrap it. With a sharp, serrated knife, use a sawing motion to trim off the end of a log at a sharp angle of at least 45 degrees. Then, continue carefully cutting even slices barely 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick and about 4 inches (10 cm) long, making 28 to 30 slices per log. (You can use the ends, too, if you like.) As each log is sliced, arrange the slices on top of the racks in the baking tray. Bake until the slices have hardened, about 35 minutes; then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining logs. Store the biscotti in airtight containers.
